Electroacupuncture stimulation of auricular concha region improves loss of control over stress induced depression-like behavior by modulating 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptor.
EA-ACR can improve depressive-like behaviors. Loss of control over stress leads to up-regulation of 5-HT<sub>1A</sub>R and down-regulation of 5-HT<sub>2A</sub>R in the hippocampus, while EA-ACR mainly improves depressive behavior by regulating 5-HT<sub>1A</sub>R in Hip.
